Theradome Laser Helmet Review

I hope all is well for the readers of this blog. Not much new to report with regards to my hair or the Theradome helmet. I noticed that lately the helmet is difficult to charge if I let the battery run down. This morning I heard "warning battery low" and then spent the next several minutes trying various methods of placing the helmet on the charging dock. Eventually the charging resumed, but it was more frustrating than charging a device should have to be. My advice to others is to not go more than 2 uses of the helmet without charging the battery.Tamim (Theradome founder / CEO) was on another morning show. In this video he displays the photos of the teenage girl who was featured in their original marketing videos. Am I the only one who thinks that by this point they should have some new photos of different users?

Several people have mentioned that I am less likely to see impressive results because I do not take medication to alter the levels of DHT in my scalp. While that may be true, you can see in this video that Tamim justifies the cost of his product by comparing it to what a man would ordinarily spend on drugs like Propecia. Implying that Propecia would no longer be necessary after purchasing the Theradome helmet. Many people might not be willing to spend $900 on a laser helmet if they thought they still had to purchase other medications.

I'm one of those people who has suggested that you might see faster results if you reduced DHT levels. From a logical standpoint, what you are doing feels like two steps forward and two steps back.

But without long term clinical data for LLLT, I'm not prepared to say you are limiting your maximum potential by not dealing with DHT. We simply don't know that for certain. The fact remains there is clinical data showing LLLT grows hair as a stand alone treatment.

And while I do feel you would get more out of this if you were also on finasteride, I have repeatedly praised you for sticking to your guns. Hopefully by the end of the year you'll see some cosmetic changes and unlike the rest of us using the Theradome, you will be able to say with confidence that any results you get are actually from this device.

So how do you reduce DHT without propecia type of medicine?

Thanks. I appreciate the recognition. The goal here is to show people what happened with just the use of the Theradome helmet. The use of the shampoos (Nizoral) is an acceptable exception because that is what the Theradome staff have instructed customers to do. Even then I believe my results could have been skewed a bit by Nizoral. In my opinion my hair looked better (week 6 pics) prior to starting the medicinal shampoo (Mid week update pics posted on 2/5/14).

With regards to Fin... It would be different if the majority of those on Fin were seeing exponentially better growth of hair while using a Theradome helmet. At this point that has not been the case. Even most of the female users pictures require some imagination to see signs of new growth.

Good luck with your treatment. How long did you wait for shipping?

By the way you said you don't see any difference still? Is it any difference in hair, do you feel any more hair?

Shipping? I ordered from Indiegogo in August of last year and received the helmet on 12/24/2013.

I don't feel any new hair. Not sure if any difference has been seen. For now I'm letting the blog readers be the judge of that.

I've also had the same problem with charging my helmet since day 1, they sent me another cradle but still have the same problem it's very frustrating trying to get my helmet to charge sometimes it takes too long. For a helmet this expensive you'd expect the charging to work properly. I've also been hearing all this talk about using DHT blockers, The reason why I bought this helmet in the first place was because I didn't think I needed that, now im thinking about adding some finesteride to the mix , currently ive only been using Vitatress Biotin Shampoo which is supposed to have some type of dht blockers in it and Toppik Keratinizing Shampoo.

I would complain that your charger isn't working. It came to a point where my battery just died because of the faulty charging design. They sent me the new version without a cradle. It works beautifully. I don't have to spend 5 minutes trying to make sure it's charging. Once it looked good, I would come back 5 minutes later and it wasn't flashing properly.
Trust me the new design is much better.

So today after my 144th treatment my helmet did not want to recharge anymore It didn't blink or do anything, even the new cradle they sent me didn't work it just died on me so I sent them an email, I hope they can get me the new design cause this is not fair I had been using daily for a while now and it seemed to be giving me good results especially in my crown area I hope my hairs don't fall out now or something.

I purchased this theradome helmet since July, there is a charging issue this product it won't charging at all it's steady read instead of green. I called the customer several times and email them. I want to exchange my theradome helmet but they don't want it they said they gonna send me a charger. The charger is not the problem it's the helmet by its self. This customer service is the worst I've ever experience.

Yeah first they sent me a new charger but it still didn't work , then the helmet just died on me all the way, I think they will have to send you a new charger first just to make sure its not the charger, then if nothing works they will send you a new helmet but they told me they were gonna inspect it. I already tried everything they told me and it still didn't work the helmet is completely dead. Im still hoping I get a new helmet I accidently forgot to send my RMA number with the box but I already emailed them about it.

Hi! How to find out if the theradome is charging? What should be the light color of the power button? Is it steady light or blinking light? Thanks.

I am using my theradome for 5 months, and now it's not working. When I charge it will turned solid green within a minute it means fully charged. When I put it in my head it will totally not working. I tried to charge it again and it's charging. But why every time I'm going to put it in my head, it will turn off and you cannot turn on. You need to charge again to turn on and still not working in my head. Frustrating!
